Sulte Lake City-When Republicans in Utah issued a ban on sexual care for children and adolescents in 2023, they argued that it was necessary to protect vulnerable children from treatments that may cause long-term harm.
Years later, the results of a study assigned under the same law contradict this claim, and the legislative body led by Republicans face pressure to reconsider restrictions.
The Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services in Utah State of the leading health organizations in the state has finished a study of thousands of sexually transformers who generate gender care “positive mental health and social psychological work results.”
Policies that prevent the hormonal treatment of minors cannot be justified based on scientific results or concerns about possible regret in the future, says the report.
The agency does not take a position on whether legislators should lift the prohibition at the state level on hormonal therapy and minors. But the legislators reminded that they were intending to be temporary to be temporary so that the state could conduct its own research.
Utah is among the 27 states that have adopted laws that restrict or prohibit the gender medical care of the transgender minors, who made Republican politicians the political lightning penis. Federal judges have canceled a ban in Arkansas, Florida and Montana as unconstitutional, although the Federal Appeal Court remained on the rule of Florida. The law in Kansas has not yet been imposed.
Some Republicans in Utah said they were open to looking at the results of the study, while others were quick to reject it.
In a joint statement, the sponsor of the House of Representatives said to the law of 2023, which prohibits the sponsorship of the gender organization and the head of the temporary health committee of the Legislative Commission that they “intend to maintain the endowment in place.”
Republican representatives Katie Hall and Bridger Bolinder said: “Young children and adolescents should not make medical decisions to change life based on weak evidence,” said Republican representatives Katy Hall and Bridger Bolinder. “Simply put, science does not exist, the risks are real, and the public is with us.”
All major medical organizations in the United States consider that gender care is safe, effective and medical necessary for sexually transformed youth. However, the polling indicates that Republican restrictions on the arrival of transgender children to sponsorship resonate with the voters, according to a modern survey conducted by the Associated Press Normak for Public Affairs Research.
Senate Stewart Adams said he was committed to reviewing the report. The Republican leader previously suggested that children and adolescents are very young to agree to treatments.
Children who doubt their sexual identity generally receive advice and may be prescribed for medicines or hormones that prevent puberty. Gender -confirmed surgeries are rarely performed, such as operations to convert chest or genitals, on minors.
“The future and safety of children is very important,” Adams said. “For this reason, Utah State has enacted a law to protect long -term health and the luxury of the palace while providing time to study the developed medical scene with carefully surrounding the minors. I appreciate the Department of Health and Humanitarian Services in Utah to assess the available evidence.”
Democratic leaders in Utah Angela Romero and Senator Luz Istanilla are urged their Republican colleagues to spend more time to review the report of more than 1000 pages before deciding the future of the ban.
Under the law, children who were already diagnosed with gender sex were allowed before January 2023 to continue receiving hormones. Utah University closed its health clinic for LGBTQ+ earlier this month after the law has greatly reduced the number of patients. Doctors who provide a confirmed gender care for minors can violate the ban to lose their licenses and face criminal charges.
The report prepared for legislators has approved some of the risk associated with gender sexual care, including an increase in some types of benign brain tumors. But experts highlighted the positive impact of such treatments in alleviating the risk of suicide among young transgender youth.
The report states, “Patients seen in the sexual clinic before the age of 18 suffer from a lesser risk of suicide compared to those who are indicated as adults.” “When they were left without treatment, individuals with sexual disruption may suffer from sexual and social damage.”
The report in Utah is contrary to a presentation issued earlier this month by the administration of President Donald Trump, who questioned the widely accepted treatment standards of the World Vocational Association for Sexual Health. US Minister of Health Robert F. Kennedy Junior Information about who composed the report, and major medical groups said they had not been consulted.
Trump’s guidelines urge reliance on behavioral therapy instead of medical interventions for children who have separation between their sexual identity and their specified gender at birth. Trump’s executive order in his second term says that the federal government should not support sexual transformations of anyone under the age of 19.
